Chapter 391: Determination
When he first grabbed the chain, he was amazed.
It turned out that it was so easy to pull the iron chain on it, and it took a night to pull out dozens of meters long.
However, the chain seemed endless, and he even began to wonder if he could pull it all out at the last moment of his life.
Time passed day by day, but Niu Er's work progress was not satisfactory.
A month later, the iron chains had filled the clearing, the large well was "gurgling", the black water was rushing up the chain, and the foul smell spread throughout the village.
The people of the village began to talk about it, and they looked at the piles of iron chains, and they looked at the foul black water, and they knew that there was something wrong with the big well.
However, they couldn't imagine that all this was caused by Niu Eryi.
"I heard that Niu Er has been missing at night lately, do you think he's doing something bad?" Someone is talking behind their backs.
"No, how could Niu Er be such an honest person as could do such a thing."
"You don't know, people's hearts are unpredictable." People began to speculate, began to doubt, and their eyes began to focus on Niu Er.
But Niu Er didn't seem to notice it, he still went to pull the iron chain every night, his eyes were full of determination, he knew that he had to complete this task, he had to get the soul of Tie Dan'er back.
However, Niu Er was still discovered.
The village chief led a dozen farmers, with torches in their hands, which were particularly dazzling in the dark night, and they followed the source of the stench to the large well, and they were dumbfounded at the sight before them.
Under the moonlight, Niu Er's figure was like an isolated beast, he was next to the big well, pulling the chain up like crazy, his back was curved and hard in the moonlight, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he muttered something "must be done", "talk counts" or something, as if he was stunned.
The village chief was stunned, he always thought that Niu Er was an honest man, but he didn't expect him to have such a side, he walked over and tried to pull Niu Er.
"What are you doing here?" His voice was angry and puzzled.
However, at this moment, Niu Er pushed him away as if he hadn't heard it.
The people in the village looked at it, and their hearts were full of grievance and anger, and they ran over to pull Niu Er.
However, what they didn't expect was that Niu Er's strength was amazing, and it took eight people to barely hold him back.
At this time, the black water in the large well seemed to churn even more, and the foul smell became stronger, as if it wanted to swallow the whole village into it.
But Niu Er seemed to be possessed by something, his eyes were full of madness and persistence, and his mouth was still chanting those words that no one could understand.
People look at everything in front of them and don't know what to do.
All they know is that their village, their lives, never seem to go back to the past.
The village chief was pushed to the ground by Niu Er, and the dust was filled, and he angrily wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and roared, "Put the iron chain back for me!" ”
Then he waved his hand and motioned for the others to go to the village and bring the stone mill over and seal the large well.
There was a strange sound coming from the big well, like a cow barking, but this strange sound made people feel cold, and everyone knew that it must not be a cow.
Niu Er shouted frantically, his fingers waving in the air to make them stop, his face showing despair and pain.
However, his cries were not heard, and the chains were thrown back, and then the stone grinders were fiercely covered.
The wellhead instantly returned to calm, except for the strange sound that grew weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
In an instant, Niu Er went completely crazy, and as soon as he pushed away the people who were holding him, he was about to run towards the well.
"Tie Dan'er, I want to save Tie Dan'er!" He roared in the night, his voice making my heart tremble.
The village chief walked over and slapped him hard: "Where did the iron egg come from?" I think you're really stunned! You forget, Tie Dan'er fell to his death in Houqiu before, and his grave is still there! ”
His voice echoed in the night, and his words pierced Niu Er's heart like a needle.
Niu Er's body shook, and he looked at the village chief, his eyes full of doubts and fear.
His shoulders began to shake, and his mouth was open but silent.
His eyes were full of disbelief and despair.
He looked at the large, closed well, and his tears involuntarily slipped down.
"Iron Egg......" His voice was weak, his body trembled in the night, and his heart was as painful as being torn apart.
Niu Er's voice was sharp and painful: "Nonsense! I rescued him from the well, he followed me home, and now I want to bring his soul back as well......"
However, as if he had heard some joke, the village chief laughed mockingly, "See for yourself what you have saved!" With a wave of his hand, he threw a huge bone to the ground.
The bones were pitted and looked very dirty, as if they had gone through the suffering of the world.
It emits an eerie glow in the moonlight and looks especially creepy.
The bones were so big, and if they were human bones, they would have been very tall.
Niu Er looked at the bone, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear. He tried to get close to the bone, but his legs couldn't move as if they were pinned to the ground.
His heart was filled with fear and despair, and he did not understand why he had failed, why he had lost his only son.
His fingers trembled, and his eyes were filled with doubt and helplessness.
The bone in front of him, as if it was evidence of his failure, lay there coldly, allowing everyone to see his failure.
His heart was filled with pain and despair, he didn't know what else he could do, he only knew that he had lost everything he had.
His world seemed to have become dark and hopeless from then on.
Niu Er covered his head and took two steps back, and the village chief's words stabbed into his heart.
His heart was filled with doubt and helplessness, and his world seemed to collapse.
His heart was full of pain and despair, and he didn't know what else he could do, except that he had lost his son and all his hopes.
Since then, Niu Er has become crazy, and he told people the story of being saved by the gods in the big well, and his eyes were full of madness and persistence.
He was always alone, running to the big well without anyone noticing, and his heart was full of mad determination to find his son.
